Punching Gloria Steinem: inside the bizarre world of anti-feminist women. How do you make sense of women who think the Hobby Lobby decision is 'great', college rape is 'inflated' and pay gaps don't ex

"[Whenever women disagree with me it's because they too hate women]"

~Jessica Valenti

Because addressing actual arguments is hard and subjects you to scrutiny. Feelings are much easier to deal with and manipulate.

No, she's perfectly okay with claiming to be pro-woman and trying to silence women's voices when they don't comport with her own.

Do people here believe the hobby lobby decision was great? I'm genuinely curious as to why.

I love those women who speak on mens behalf. Love em like catholics love saints, or kids love superheroes. They're brave, and they are doing a job a man cant do in this day and age: standing against other women.

The article wasnt important. Her vitriol only brings attention to those that oppose them.

Commenters, as usual, complain about how terrible her columns are.

I'm pretty sure that pro-MRM women and women who think the Hobby Lobby decision was great are two different groups. There may be some who belong to both groups, but the latter is simply a bunch of religious zealots who believe that a zygote is a human baby and preventing implantation is abortion.

Damn, i was hoping that someone actually had punched Gloria Steinem!

How sexist. It's amazing how if you say things in the right tone, it seems totally undeniable. "So-and-so woman even challenges the pay gap!" gasp Never mind that the pay gap actually is BS.

She starts by equating all anti-feminists with being against a woman's right to vote and ends by saying that Sarah Palin, a female governor and VP candidate is a "faux-feminist."

The emotional appeal..i-it..it's just too strong..

I can't believe I read the whole thing. Thanks for screencapping the clickbait.

"Back to mall headquarters sisters! These ones weren't born with the gift!"

I'm a supporter of free birth control for both women and men, but I could see why someone, especially a libertarian would oppose it. I am also shocked by the entitlement attitude some feminists have on this issue. Yes, they have the right not to be stopped from accessing birth control, that's not the same as a right to being provided for free by someone else. Idk where they got the idea that society OWES them free birth control. Imo it's a good ide to reduce unplanned pregnancies for minimal cost, but saying it's a right is laughable.

Valenti's level of intellectual dishonesty is such that I'm convinced she is pure clickbait - she doesn't believe a word of what she writes.

I wish someone would punch Valenti.
